Blades of Exile
---------------
A Fantasy Role-Playing System for Windows 3.1/95 and Macintosh.
Spiderweb Software, Inc. proudly presents its new fantasy
role-playing universe :  Blades of Exile!

Blades of Exile is whole new world of adventure for both the
Windows 3.1/95 and Macintosh platforms, featuring not only several
fascinating adventures, but a scenario generator you can use
yourself! With Blades of Exile, you be able to not only pull new
scenarios off the Internet, but make your own adventures as well!

Blades of Exile uses an advanced version of the powerful engine
used in the hit award-winning game Exile III: Ruined World. This
tried and true engine strikes an excellent balance between
simplicity and detail, and between graphical frills and game
playing excitement. It will come with three full adventures,
designed to challenge even the most jaded adventurer:

     The Valley of Dying Things: The introductory adventure. In
     Skylark Vale, everything is dying, the animals, the plants,
     the people. You have been sent to find out why.
     Unfortunately, you're dealing with a bizarre foe unlike any
     you've ever fought before.

     A Small Rebellion: You are the Empire's weapon to end the
     decades long rebellion on Morrow's Isle. The more you learn,
     however, the more unclear it is who you should be fighting

     for. An open ended scenario design lets you decide which side
     to end up on!

     The Za-Khazi Run: Fort Cavalier will fall to its attackers in
     3 weeks, unless you can get a shipment of powerful magic to
     them in time. Between you and them?  Hundreds of miles of the
     nastiest, twistiest caves in the underworld. Better hurry ...
     dawdle, and all will be lost.

And, when you've finished these adventures, your travels are far
from completed!  Blades of Exile also comes with the Blades of
Exile Scenario Editor, the long-awaited program which lets anyone
create fully featured Exile scenarios, complete with custom
monsters and graphics, dialogue, special encounters, and all the
detail users have come to love in the Exile adventures. These
scenarios can then be placed on the Internet and played by anyone,
making Blades of Exile a game that need never end!

Blades of Exile is out now and the unregistered version can be
found on Disks 1217a-c for œ4.50

It requires a PC running Windows 3.1 or 95.  It needs 2 MB free
RAM and 256 colors.  The registered version is $30, and will come
with a character editor, fully functional scenario editor, and a
hint booklet.
